Michael Vey

5, Storm of Lightning

"Michael and the rest of the Electroclan are facing their greatest crisis yet. The resistance movement has been compromised. The safe house has been destroyed. The voice is in hiding, and they have no idea if their families are alive-- or dead. What they do know is that the Elgen won't stop until they've destroyed the Electroclan."--Front jacket flap.

Not our favorite book out of the series, but still good. Not a lot of forward motion in the storyline, likely because the next book will be action packed! We can't wait for the next book to come out this fall!

This Young Adult Book should be read not only by Young Adults but by adults and Seniors too. This book is the fifth in a series of seven. Compared to the other books there was less action but like many classics such as "Charlotte's Web" and "The Wizard of Oz," it is very philosophical.

The author, Evans uses the villain Dr. Hatch to demonstrate the evil of craving power. "Let's say he is suddenly the king of the world. What is he going to do with it that he can't do now? Is his food going to taste better? Is the weather going to be better?"

Likewise Evans's good characters espouse good values and make for very good examples to readers. All in all a great book - and yes, every reader will be waiting with bated breath for Book 6 since this one ends in a cliffhanger.
